Azure CI/CD pipeline - TestComplete could not start because the license check has failed

[VinothNageswara]

Hi 

Here is my CI/CD pipeline. I get the following error when I execute the pipeline.

We have a key based license. Should I put the accesskey as below  or it is not required? If so , where do i find the accesskey as I don't have a smartbear account.

Is accesskey same as License key ?

We have license only for TestComplete not for TestExecute , So have used TestComplete.

If there are any other issues in the pipeline , please advise.

- task: VisualStudioTestPlatformInstaller@1

        inputs:

          packageFeedSelector: 'nugetOrg'

          versionSelector: 'latestStable'

      - task: InstallTestCompleteAdapter@1

        inputs:

          installExecutor: true

          updateExecutor: true

          accessKey:  'xxxxxx'

          searchMode: ExecutionPlan

          logsLevel: '0'

          preferredExecutor: 'TC'

      - task: VSTest@2

        inputs:

          testSelector: 'testAssemblies'

          testAssemblyVer2: '**\*.pjs'

          searchFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'

          vsTestVersion: 'toolsInstaller'

          testRunTitle: 'Automated tests'

Outcome

Here is where we would add the Token during a CLI execution: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/id-based/automated-builds.html
